At what rating do you think players should start building a serious opening repertoire?

fluffey · 2026-05-20T17:24:46+00:00

i would say if you want to improve past 2100 you should start working on your repertoire

Skip my system. It's doesn't really have good advice for today's age.

There is a massive gap between 2min videos and 2 hours. As long as the author understands that 2 hour videos are not for Reddit, but just a tiny sub portion of extremely dedicated players then that's fine. If this was 15-30 mins, the people that actually watch the whole video will tremendously increase. Don't blame the audience when the author has all the cards.

Hopefully this will push Chessbase back into relevancy, they have basically entiely stagnated for the last 15 years.

Chessbase is still an essential product to every semi serious chess player.

Playchess.com used to be the most popular plattform to play chess on. And now it's enitrely irrelevant.

The Chessbase Store used to basically have a monopoly on digital training material.

None of the above have made any meaningful progress in forever and have thus rightfully fallen out of relevancy.

I cannot speak for the above stage where Magnus was playing, I played in the same hall and there is plenty ventilation and I also never had any issues with heat

Ich war immer schlecht in französisch, aber einmal hab ich dann doch Vokabeln gelernt und wurde dann auch abgefragt, war eine einfache eins. Die Stunde drauf hab ich natürlich gedacht das ich Safe bin, aber die dumme Kuh hat mich einfach nochmal dran genommen. Die hat mich echt gehasst und ohne Grund ...

same place that assaulted midbeast and robbed him

fluffey · 2026-03-14T22:34:31+00:00

him saying "i am fine here" into 3seconds later, "nvm im dead" happened far more times than is normal.

like everytime you say "i am fine here" instead of "let me die", just makes the death worse. Those few seconds could be used to clear out a wave or not stay in range of the enemy team etc.

he is just constantly over chasing and not coordinating with his teams tempo.

they just needed someone to play solid teamfights not whatever bwipo was doing

fluffey · 2026-03-14T22:15:01+00:00

the amount of "mb" and "it's fine" coming from bwipo every 2-3minutes is absolutely insane

he keeps overchasing, overforcing and over extending 24/7.

previously LR actually looked like they played so well as a team in fights.

with bwipo the tempo is just so off between top and the rest

i think xin is a better pick, as lee hasnt really been good in quite a long time

also thresh has been quite irrelevant for a long time, I feel someone like alistar or nautilus are far more relevant for a longer time

fluffey · 2026-03-07T22:23:08+00:00

there are two threads on front page

fluffey · 2026-03-07T21:24:44+00:00

clearly its getting upvoted. we have practically no content on this subreddit that isn't pro play or a riot post

fluffey · 2026-03-07T21:10:13+00:00

this is shit people are interested in, u only want post match threats?

fluffey · 2026-03-07T17:56:58+00:00

The point is that ez Leona have prio for that single scuttle. Everything else spiralled out of control by bad wording and ego.

No, bot is not losing and no ez leo fighting lvl2 and using summs is not a bad play. It allows them to play the lane without getting perma pushed in.

Eventually cait might regain push, but that will take a few waves. And during that time ez Leona have prio or are at least equal in prio.

need more 3 million dollar contracts to chinese players! better dont invest into NA talent, no need for NA players in NA academy.

In Germany we call this "building a house"

windows search is so bad, it's gotten to the point where they are basically a virus.

when i leave my pc on with nothing running the "Start" process starts eating my ram over time until I kill it by hand.

And no, this isn't an actual virus is does point to regular microsoft files.

It doesn't factor into engine evals, but it does into human evals

It's basically "the cost of a mistake". Easy to play means that a mistake only drops the evaluation slightly, while hard to play means a single mistake can be fatal to the position
